He spoke the truth with complete courage, intensity and dedication.

There are many talks given by Shri Mataji similar in essence to the

one given at Eastbourne, England on 22 April, 1990:

 

" Christ's life should inspire us to lead a life 'that could be

enshrined, that could be called a reflection of Christ's life.'

Christ felt responsible for the world. He is described as the

support of the whole universe in the Devi-Purana. Sahaja Yogis also

have to feel responsible for the emancipation of the whole of

humanity and for the collective ascent of human beings. We have to

be alert and be aware of our responsibilities.

 

Christ was concerned all the time with the benevolence of the world.

Christ was knowledge. He knew his goal. He spoke the truth with

complete courage, intensity and dedication. Sahaja Yogis also have

to be knowledgeable about Sahaja Yoga and speak about Sahaja Yoga

with courage and dedication without being pretentious. The truth has

the capacity to express itself through a personality. " (Shri Mataji)

 

i believe that all pleas to leaders to speak " the truth with

complete courage, intensity and dedication " are going to fall on

deaf ears, as has been the case over the years. We will just be

wasting our breath and arousing the anger of the chosen ones should

they be accused of cowardice and dishonesty.

 

It looks like Sahaja Yoga is splitting into two - the majority who

have no conviction or faith in proclaiming the Divine Message, and

the minority who insist we must never corrupt Her teachings. It is

clear that leaders and facilitators have been instrumental in

enforcing obedience to the official version and management of Shri

Mataji's teachings. With the latest coup d'etat and formation of a

new World Council the Americans have gained absolute control and

management of Sahaja Yoga. The global organization is now being

purged of leaders and devotees not subservient to the self-

proclaimed highest power in Sahaja Yoga.

 

What i am really concerned is what local collectives are telling

SYs, as experienced by Violet:

 

" i have been asked to leave the collective if i continue with these

websites. However, i cannot go against my conscience, therefore

continue to proclaim Shri Mataji's Divine Message.

 

Do not worry. We are here and are not going away.

 

The World Council and the new Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga

Foundation are gathering a lot of power unto themselves. That is not

the Sahaj Way; Shri Mataji said leaders were there to facilitate

smooth-running and orderly running of the organization of Sahaja

Yoga. When they take upon themselves, the job of Organizing the

Spirit of individual Sahaja Yogi brothers and sisters, and those

brothers and sisters do not want their Spirit to be organized and

then they are asked to leave the organization, what can i say? "

 

 

i know these websites and forums represent the greatest threat to

the collectives of America and Canada, for reasons best known to

them. Ever since i became a SY and started writing SHRI ADI SHAKTI:

THE KINGDOM OF GOD the management SYs of North America began a

sustained effort to discredit it. Even Shri Mataji's repeated

approval was not enough. What really set them off was my setting up

of the websites. That is when they went into overdrive and used all

means possible to stop new seekers from reading about the Divine

Message. Now they have gained control of the new World Council.

These websites and forums represent the greatest threat and obstacle

to manage Shri Mataji's teachings and control Her devotees. Asking

them to announce " the truth with complete courage, intensity and

dedication " is tantamount to supporting the Divine Message as

explained on these forums and websites.

 

Jesus said, " Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your

pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and

turn and tear you to pieces. " Matthew 7:6

 

" Of course, these words of Jesus are allegorical. I doubt that any

were literally casting pearls before swine. The meaning is pretty

simple to figure out; " Do not persist in offering what is sacred or

of value to those who have no appreciation for it, because your gift

will not only become contaminated and be despised, your generous

efforts could also be rebuffed and perhaps even openly attacked. "

The " dogs " and " swine " here stand for the unappreciative and

worldly; unappreciative and uncaring men and women who belittle the

value of what is offered to them. " (www.bible.ca)

 

Yes, these words of Jesus are allegorical to the World Council too.

But what the Saviour meant is that swine can never appreciate pearls.

 

Jai Shri Mataji,

A productive second session of the WCASY at Guru Puja in New Jersey

Monday, August 01, 2005

 

 

One year after its creation and as it met in the land of Shri

Krishna, the world Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga (WCASY)

is gaining a wonderful feeling of oneness and dynamism.

 

At the recent Guru Puja in New Jersey, the WCASY met several times.

In a first informal meeting on Saturday, consensus was achieved to

move together beyond the events of Adi Shakti puja in Cabella. While

all members of the sangha are invited to pray from the depth of their

heart for Mother's long life and good health, we need to trust those

in whose care She has entrusted Herself.

 

FIVE COMMITTEES OF THE WCASY TO SERVE THE SANGHA

 

At its recent session, the World Council adopted its code of conduct

and rules of procedures and it turned the existing task forces into

standing committees. The creation of the Committee on Legal Affairs

was ratified and accepted by the Members of the World Council. Paul

Ellis was elected as Chairman of this committee until the end of

2006. Similarly the Committee on Communication and Publication was

created with Alan Wherry as its Chair and the Committee on Budget and

Financial Matters was created with Gagan Ahluwalia as its chair. The

meeting at Guru Puja created two new comities:

 

A new Committee on Health was formed, chaired by Dr David Spiro. Over

the next few months it is intended to recruit the members of this

committee and they will explore the function this committee can

fulfil. National Leaders are requested to assist in this process. The

committee hopes to support the very good work that is already going

on, for example at the clinic at Vashi and the research project

taking place in Australia and will submit its report and programme at

the 3rd session of the Council.

 

The Committee on Education, chaired by Dr Wolfgang Hackl, shall

represent the World Council on the trusts of boards of the various

Sahaja Yoga education institutions, such as the schools in India,

Europe and America. National Leaders are invited to liaise with

Wolfgang and to refer to him potential resource persons and inform

him of any pertinent developments. The Chair will likewise report to

the Council at its 3rd session.

 

The Chairmen of the committee were given the authority to set up sub

committees in order to recruit personnel with appropriate skills to

advise and implement the tasks in hand. The authority was also given

to co-opt personnel outside the World Council. In other words,

national leaders can help in identifying qualified member of the

sangha that are willing to volunteer and join in the work at hands.

 

It was understood that the Chair of the respective Committees would

prepare a work plan, report to the Council and seek the Council's

approval to endorse their Committee's decisions. Between the sessions

of the Council they would consult the Coordinator and the Secretary

as appropriate.

 

 

INTRODUCING THE " SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI SAHAJA YOGA FOUNDATION "

 

An introduction was given by Paul Ellis to the new Shri Mataji

Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga Foundation and the constitutive formal board

meeting took place on Monday 25th July.

 

We were reminded that the Council was not proceeding with setting up

a foundation in Italy. The new nonprofits corporation foundation set

up in America was to accept the generous gift of the house in New

Jersey given by Shri Mataji; it is also the legal vehicle doing

business as the World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga.

 

This nonstock, nonprofit corporation was filed in the state of

Delaware on the day of the occasion of Guru Purnima, on 21st July

2005. Sir CP Shrivastava was offered to be an honorary member of the

board of director of the Foundation in recognition for his constant

support to Sahaja yoga and he graciously agreed.

 

 

COORDINATION WITH NATIONAL LEADERS

 

The WCASY seeks its inspiration from the nurturing leadership of Our

Mother and Guru Shri Mataji. It was clearly recognized by the Council

Members that WCASY should support, encourage and sustain the National

Leaderships, but that it may, from time to time, need to intervene in

the affairs of a country when global or institutional situations

arise or when there is a need for arbitration. Shri Mataji gave a

personal endorsement to the role of the Council in a wonderful

session of evening bhajans at Her residence on Saturday evening.

 

There is a common desire to keep close contact with the National

Leaders and to share experience and suggestions. In this respect a

very positive meeting took place the same evening with national

leaders present in New Jersey. It emphasized the spirit of the

Council and of the national leaders forming one united global team.

Information was exchanged and feelings of mutual respect, affection

and support were expressed. It was agreed, whenever possible, to have

similar coordination meetings at each Pujas.

 

 

OTHER DECISIONS TAKEN

 

Beyond the above mentioned significant developments, the Council

entrusted specific tasks to some of its members such as advancing on

issues of resource mobilization and intellectual property or liaising

to support developments in specific countries or regions. In this

respect Majid Golpour was requested to act on behalf of the WCASY in

support of Africa.

 

Appreciation was expressed by all for the hard work that some of us

were privileged to deliver in the service of the Council. Gathering

in New Jersey, we were all grateful to have moved ahead in a

wonderful spirit of togetherness and deeply aware of the protection

that Our Guru bestowed on this second session of the WCASY.

 

 

On behalf of the Coordinator and with love and respect to the world

sangha,

 

Signed

Alan Pereira

Secretary WCASY
